Start with Baihuguan

Li Yang trembled slightly, facing Wang Yangming's questioning, he just lay there and did not reply for a long time.

Just looking at Li Yang's reaction, Wang Yangming couldn't help but took a deep breath, and said slowly: "In other words, someone deliberately caused the gunpowder to get wet! You, Li Yang, are a quartermaster, and such a thing happened right under your nose. Things, are you guilty?"

Li Yang said in a trembling voice: "I am guilty of the crime, please ask the governor to punish me."

Wang Yangming paced back and forth, looked at Li Yang and snorted coldly: "Tell me, who did it?"

Li Yang shook his head and said: "I don't know, I have already asked the officials under him, and no one knows who tampered with those gunpowder."

Seeing Li Yang's expression of knowing nothing, Wang Yangming couldn't help shouting coldly: "Come here, bring Li Yang and others to the governor and take them under strict supervision."

Immediately, more than a dozen personal soldiers came forward to take Li Yang and those officials down, and those officials begged Wang Yangming for mercy one by one when they were taken down.

Everyone knows that when something like this breaks out this time, they will not say whether they have any problems under strict investigation.

What's more, many of these people couldn't stand the investigation at all. If they didn't beg for mercy loudly now, they might have no chance to beg for mercy.

Wang Yangming waved his hands angrily when he came, and soon everyone was taken down.

There was a sudden silence in the big tent, and Wang Yangming pondered for a while and said, "Come here, I will invite the Governor General Shanxi Jinyiwei Qianhu Yue Buqun."

A long time ago, Li Huan had transferred Yue Buqun, who was from Shaanxi Qianhu Office, to listen to him. Now Yue Buqun is under Wang Yangming's account, responsible for investigating the military situation of the Tatars. It can be said that Wang Yangming's ability one of the arms.

After a short while, Yue Buqun, dressed in brocade and guard robes, strided into the big tent and bowed to Wang Yangming, "My next official, Yue Buqun, pays homage to the governor. What order?"

Wang Yangming glanced at Yue Buqun and said, "Yue Qianhu, there is a shortage of gunpowder in the army, and there is news that the gunpowder is damp. I wonder if Yue Qianhu knows about it?"

Yue Buqun didn't show any surprise when he heard the words, Wang Yangming had already been alarmed by these things, so it is impossible for Yue Buqun, who is a thousand households of Jinyiwei, to be ignorant of it.

So after hearing the words, Yue Buqun just pondered for a while, then nodded to Wang Yangming and said, "Your official only found out about this not long ago."

Wang Yangming nodded, and was not surprised that Yue Buqun knew about this matter. After all, he was an official of Jinyiwei who was valued by Li Huan. If the news was blocked, he might not be valued so much by Li Huan.

I could only hear Yue Buqun say with shame on his face: "The lower officials are incompetent, they couldn't detect this matter in advance, so that it affected the plan of the governor..."

Wang Yangming waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Yue Qianhu. I called you here because I hope that Yue Qianhu can use the power of Jin Yiwei to investigate for me. Who is behind this matter?" for!"

A cold look flashed across Yue Buqun's eyes, and he immediately clasped his fists at Wang Yangming and said, "The next official takes orders."

At the same time, Qi Zhen led the elite soldiers and horses under his command to chase after Ma Guli's troops. Under the occasional artillery shelling behind him, he pressed on every step of the way, without losing the wind in the slightest.

Ma Guli led the soldiers under his command, and seeing the people being bombarded by Ming army artillery in the distance, the soldiers and horses under his command couldn't help but panic and said: "Damn it, if you have the ability, you can kill with real swords and guns."

This feeling of powerlessness suppressed by firearms made Ma Gu feel a surge of anger in his heart, and he couldn't help roaring loudly.

But Qi Zhen laughed out loud, and commanded his troops to rush towards the Tatar team, shouting at the same time: "Tell the brothers behind, let them see the opportunity, give me a hard bombardment, and kill me!" These Tartars."

Ma Guli, who had been retreating again and again, now found that his own army camp was located one or two miles further back. Thinking of the consequences of the Ming army rushing into the camp, Ma Guli couldn't help gritting his teeth and said to the soldiers under his command: "Your lords, why don't you give up?" If I kill you, I will never let the Ming army enter the camp."

Under the bone-numbing roar, these retreating Tatars finally started to counterattack, but what greeted them was an astonishing blast of artillery fire.

Looking at the Tatars in front of them who were bombarded by artillery fire, the morale of Qi Zhen and other Ming soldiers was naturally high.

"It's a joy, it's a joy, tell the brothers in the rear, keep bombing, work harder..."

However, at this time, the sound of the artillery suddenly stopped, and the huge movement of the artillery sound suddenly disappeared. Not to mention Qi Zhen and the Ming army who were not used to it, it was those who had been bombarded by the artillery fire. The Tatars couldn't help showing doubts.

Ma Guli had a look of astonishment on his face, although he said that he was extremely astonished what was going on and why the Ming army suddenly stopped shelling, but Ma Guli knew that this was definitely a rare and great opportunity, and endured it. He couldn't help shouting: "My sons and daughters of Changshengtian, the firearms of the Ming army are useless, everyone follow me to kill."

These Tatars have been bombarded by firearms all the time, but they can only watch their companions die. Seeing the Ming army's firearms stop now, they are naturally refreshed, and they can't wait to rush to kill them immediately. The Ming army was killed to avenge their companions.

Qi Zhen came back to his senses and couldn't help roaring: "What are the people behind eating? Why don't the Tatars gather in one place and bombard them!"

At this moment, I saw a rider galloping towards Qi Zhen, got off his horse and shouted at Qi Zhen: "My lord, the commander-in-chief has an order. From now on, he must personally order the use of firearms, otherwise no one will be allowed to use firearms." Unauthorized use of firearms."

Dazed for a moment, Qi Zhen showed a pensive look on his face. He vaguely understood something. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He drew out the long knife at his waist and looked at the Tatar who was coming on horseback in front of him, roaring loudly: : "Boys, follow me to kill these Tartars."

Since the firearms in the rear can't provide them with assistance, it means that the Ming army will fight more with the Tatars in the future.

But Qi Zhen was not afraid. Although the Daming firearm was very powerful, it was the first time that Wang Yangming concentrated a large amount of fire energy and used it with such a good effect.

Normally, when approaching the enemy, a wave of firearms would be launched, and then the two sides would engage in hand-to-hand combat. This time, it was because Wang Yangming used firearms intensively, causing the power of the firearms to explode at once. There is a feeling that firearms alone are enough to defeat the Tatars.

It's just that because of the problem of gunpowder, they can no longer rely on firearms. All they can rely on is the weapons in their hands. Qi Zhen roared, awakening the people around him.

Seeing that Qi Zhen rushed forward immediately, all the Ming soldiers who reacted also killed him.

Ma Guli saw the Ming army's flag coming towards him. If it had been normal, the Ming army's artillery would have smashed down.

But seeing that the two sides are about to fight together, there is still no movement of the Ming army's firearms. No matter how slow the reaction is, one can guess that either the Ming army has some schemes, or the Ming army's firearms are out. what is the problem.

But no matter what the possibility is, Ma Guli knows one thing, that is, they no longer need to make fearless sacrifices.

Thinking of this, the anger in Ma Gu's heart that had been suffocated for a long time finally had something to vent, and he slashed out fiercely with the machete in his hand, only sending a few arrows that were aimed at him into the air. The two Ming army cavalry who rushed to the front were sent flying.

"Hahaha, boys, kill all these bright dogs!"

Like two torrents, the two sides collided together, and the sound of killing and screaming suddenly resounded through the sky.

At a glance, the two torrents are intertwined in one place, and it can be seen that the soldiers of both sides are desperately fighting together, and soldiers of both sides are killed and injured on the spot at all times.

When Dayan Khan arrived with his own soldiers, he happened to see from a distance that Maguli's men and horses were strangling together with the Ming army.

From many miles away, he could even smell a bloody smell coming from the front, and he could clearly hear the shouts of killing from the front.

At this time, Alborot, who was riding on a horse and following Dayan Khan, said to Dayan Khan with a look of surprise on his face: "Father Khan, the artillery of the Ming army has stopped, the artillery of the Ming army has stopped! "

No wonder Alberrot reacted so strongly. It was because he was overwhelmed by the firearms of the Ming army. Whenever they tried to charge the Ming army, what was waiting for them was a round of artillery bombardment, and finally left a dead body.

Seeing Ma Guli finally lead soldiers and horses to fight with the Ming army this time, Alboroth even had the urge to cry.

It's really not easy, the ghost knows how hard it is for them to want to fight with the Ming army in an upright manner.

And Han Yu stroked his beard and said to Dayan Khan, "Khan, the artillery of the Ming army has not moved. It seems that there is no problem with the news. There is really something wrong with the gunpowder of the Ming army."

Dayan Khan naturally understood this, so he couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing Han Yu's words.

Dayan Khan was also aware of the power of the Ming army's firearms. Previously, he thought that he would have to pay a huge price to escape this time.

However, he did not expect that there would be a problem with the sharpest firearm of the Ming army. In Dayan Khan's view, it was the blessing of longevity.

"Hahaha, this is the blessing of the Longevity God. I, the Tatars, will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army and return to the grassland smoothly."

While speaking, Dayan Khan took another look at the Maguli who were fighting in the distance, nodded slowly, and said with a somewhat satisfied expression on his face: "Maguli really didn't make Ben Khan Disappointed, I sent my order to deploy [-] troops to Maguli, and told him that he must firmly block the Ming army. If Ben Khan can't take Wuning Fort for a day and open a retreat, he is not allowed to take a step back."

Alborote immediately nodded to Dayan Khan and said, "Father Khan, don't worry, as long as the Ming army has no firearms to use, my son on the grassland will definitely not be afraid of the Ming army, and we will definitely be able to block the Ming army."

Wang Yangming, who was in charge of the Chinese army, was at the front right now. To be precise, Wang Yangming was on the position where the hundreds of artillery pieces were at the moment.

Looking at the entangled armies of both sides in front of him, Wang Yangming raised his brows, his eyes showing a bit of disappointment.

The soldiers and horses under Qi Zhen's command were dispatched from a place in Henan, and they were local garrisons. They had never seen any swordsmen at all. Compared with the frontier troops in the Nine Borders, they were naturally not elite.

If these soldiers and horses were to fight with the wind, they would naturally have no problem, but when they really encountered the Tatars, they were powerless.

You must know that this is still under the premise of defeating the Tatars repeatedly before, and the army's morale is available. As a result, Qi Zhen led an army of [-], but he had no choice but to be paralyzed with less than [-] troops under his command.

Shen Buyi stood beside Wang Yangming, and through the binoculars in his hand, he could clearly see the fight between the two sides in front of him.

Shen Buyi's complexion was a little pale, obviously stimulated by the tragic scene he saw. After all, on the battlefield, soldiers with broken arms and limbs, all kinds of tragic deaths, if it was an ordinary person with a weak heart, he would be able to Passed out.

Shen Buyi put down the binoculars in his hand, calmed down the turmoil in his heart, raised his head to Wang Yangming and said, "Commander, although there are many troops under General Qi's command, their combat power is worrying. I am afraid that if we continue to fight, we will be defeated. Worry."

Even with Shen Buyi's eyes, he could see the problem of Qi Zhen's soldiers and horses. Wang Yangming glanced at Shen Buyi, nodded slightly and said: "Shen Shen, you can rest assured, the governor will naturally not sit back and watch Qi Zongbing Big defeat."

While speaking, Wang Yangming said to a general who was standing beside him: "Commander Guan, you command five thousand cavalry and go to help General Qi."

Guan Zheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, he cupped his fists at Wang Yangming and saluted, "The last general takes orders."

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling horseshoes, Guan Zheng took the lead with a long knife in his hand, and behind him was a black cavalry team.

"Soldiers, follow this general to kill the Tartars!"

Guan Zheng's troops came from the flanks, stabbing Ma Guli's troops fiercely like a sharp knife.

Although Ma Guli said that he was fighting, but such a big movement from Guan Zheng's subordinate immediately alarmed Ma Guli.

Seeing the cavalry of the Ming Army rushing towards the flanks in the distance, Ma Guli couldn't help but be surprised. At this time, most of the soldiers and horses of the two sides were already entangled. The soldiers blew their horns and ordered some soldiers and horses on the flank to meet the enemy.

Boom, the two sides collided together. This time, it was naturally the Ming army that had the absolute superiority in numbers. After all, although the Tatars on the flanks heard the warning horn and even took precautions, it was the number of people after all. The difference was too much, and it seemed to be submerged by the torrent.

Shen Buyi and Wang Yangming, who saw this scene through binoculars, couldn't help showing a little smile on their faces.

Shen Buyi couldn't help applauding and said: "Okay, okay, this battle is worry-free!"

It's just that Wang Yangming's expression was a little dignified, he shook his head slowly and said, "I'm afraid not necessarily!"

While speaking, Shen Buyi's expression changed suddenly and he exclaimed: "Look, Commander, Tatar reinforcements are dispatched."

No need to remind Shen Buji, Wang Yangming also saw the Tatar cavalry roaring in the black cloud of smoke and dust.

Although the exact number is not clear, but judging by the momentum and scale, there are probably tens of thousands of people.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yangming smiled a little and said, "Dayan Khan has divided his troops, and the governor wants to see how many troops he can send to stop us."

As he spoke, a sharp look flashed in Wang Yangming's eyes and he said, "Command, all artillery fire three rounds in succession!"

Hundreds of artillery, if they can fire three rounds in a row, is equivalent to a thousand shellings, which may only cause thousands of Tatar casualties, but it is equivalent to a blow to the newly joined Tatar army.

It is conceivable that when these Tatars with high morale are bombarded by artillery, their morale will be greatly affected. Therefore, it is said that the gunpowder that is full of current storage will be used a little less, but Wang Yangming still ordered without hesitation. Use artillery to deal a head-on blow to the new Tartar army.

Alboroth galloped with high spirits, and behind him were [-] elite soldiers and horses.

At this moment, Alborod's heart is full of excitement and joy. As long as he can cooperate with Ma Guli to block the Ming army, with this credit, he may not be able to become the most dazzling one among Dayan Khan's sons.

"Children of Changshengtian, follow me to kill Minggou!"

Waving the scimitar in his hand, Alborod shouted excitedly.

At this moment, a burst of thunder-like bangs was suddenly heard.

The rumbling sound fell into Alboroth's eyes, and Alboroth, who was originally excited, suddenly seemed to have heard some terrible noise, and almost instinctively lay down on the horse, and at the same time his face became pale. He was pale, his eyes were full of fear, and he murmured: "How could this happen? Why did the Ming army's artillery move again?"

Hot bullets came through the air one after another, and each bullet could clear a piece of land, taking away the lives of many Tatars.

After three consecutive rounds of shelling, the rumble stopped abruptly. Although the shelling stopped, the [-] Tatars behind Alboroth were stunned.

They are not like the tens of thousands of troops under Ma Guli's command. Because they have been bombed several times, they are already used to being bombarded, at least they will not be stupid when facing bombardment.

However, the [-] troops brought by Alboroth have never experienced such a terrifying situation. Seeing the companions around them being smashed into meat paste by pills, life and death are separated in the blink of an eye, and many limbs and limbs are broken. Splashing everywhere, some of the surviving Tatars were stained with the blood of their companions.

For a while, even though the shelling stopped, the [-] army still didn't react, and it was a mess.

The generals who followed Alboroth came back to their senses at this moment, and their expressions changed involuntarily when they saw the situation around them.

One of the generals immediately said to Alboroth: "Your Highness, Your Highness, sound the horn and stabilize the army, otherwise the army may collapse."

Alborot, who came back to his senses, immediately reacted when he heard the general's reminder, and quickly ordered to the guards around him.

Accompanied by the sound of the desolate horn, the sound of the horn echoed within several miles.

The tens of thousands of troops who were originally in a panic and were at a loss finally reacted after hearing the sound of the horn, and the chaos finally gradually disappeared.

Seeing through the binoculars that the originally chaotic Tatars were gradually restoring order, Shen Buyi still had the scene he saw just now in his mind.

Hundreds of cannons were fired at once, and the scene of landslides and ground cracks was simply too amazing. Shen Buyi felt that if there were a few more rounds of shelling, those Tatars might be destroyed by themselves.

"Go on, Governor, go on!"

Seeing that the Tatars were restoring order, Shen Buyi couldn't help feeling anxious.

But Wang Yangming shook his head slowly and said: "If there are a few more rounds, all the stored gunpowder will be exhausted. If there is no gunpowder to replenish, then we will lose our greatest support."

Dazed for a moment, Shen Buyi couldn't help but angrily said: "Damn it, those military supply officers in the logistics should be killed. I have to write a letter to the cabinet, to His Majesty. They must not be spared lightly."

After glancing at Shen Buyi, Wang Yangming couldn't help sighing and said, "So what if you kill a few people? The governor sent someone to investigate carefully. There are problems with the recent batches of military supplies that have been transferred. This is not a problem of a few people. I don't know how many people are involved in it..."

Hearing Wang Yangming's words, Shen Buyi's expression turned aside, his eyes narrowed, and he closed his mouth consciously after thinking of something.

Wang Yangming just glanced at Shen Buyi lightly.

At the same time, Qi Town in front killed more than a dozen deserters in a row, coupled with that wave of timely shelling, finally stabilized the Ming army, which was faintly showing signs of defeat.

Accompanied by the sound of ringing gold, Township Qi let out a long sigh of relief, rejoicing and faintly disappointed in his heart, and began to retreat slowly under the cover of the cavalry of Guan Zheng's troops.

Ma Guli was also awakened by the wave of bombardment just now, and the soldiers and horses under his command in the first battle were also heavy casualties, so even if Alborote led tens of thousands of new troops, Ma Guli was suppressed. The idea of ​​taking the opportunity to chase and kill a wave.

After all, the tens of thousands of new troops brought by Alboroth have just experienced a wave of shelling, and their morale has plummeted. Otherwise, Ma Guli would never let go of such a good opportunity to chase the Ming army.

Looking at the remaining corpses of the Ming army, Ma Guli breathed a sigh of relief, at least from the previous battle he could feel that the fighting power of the Ming army was very average.

This made Ma Guli very excited, the Ming army was indeed as powerful as ever, that is, with sharp firearms, otherwise he would have dared to charge into the Ming army's camp if he was given tens of thousands of troops.

When he saw Alboroth, Ma Guli learned from Alboroth that there was a problem with the Ming army's logistics, so that the Ming army was short of gunpowder, which made it impossible to use firearms frequently.

Hearing this news, Maguli was so excited, especially Dayan Khan dispatched another [-] soldiers and horses to be commanded by him. Maguli suddenly burst into pride and laughed and said: "With me in Maguli, tomorrow The army will never think about moving forward."

Excitedly numb, he looked at Alboroth and said, "Your Highness, how was the damage from the shelling just now?"

Ma Guli looked at a general at the side, and the general hurriedly said: "General Ma Guli, I just did a simple count. In that wave of shelling, we killed or injured more than [-] people..."

Just now, Ma Guli, who was still very excited, couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Damn Ming dog, don't give me a chance, otherwise, I will definitely smash all Ming people's firearms. "

Under normal circumstances, the bombardment of the artillery would not cause such a large number of casualties, but when Alberrot led an army of [-], he subconsciously believed that it was impossible for the Ming army to use the artillery, so he was not prepared, so that the army gathered in the At the same time, under the astonishing density, a random projectile can cause at least three or five people to die or injure.

It can be said that the general said that more than 5000 people were killed or injured, which is still a small number. If some wounded soldiers who were really injured were counted, there might be [-] people.

And Qi Zhen, who had returned to the camp here, settled down with his soldiers and horses, and then went to see Wang Yangming.

Walking into the big tent and seeing Wang Yangming, Qi Zhen didn't care about the presence of other people, and knelt down in front of Wang Yangming with a guilty face and said: "The general will not live up to the expectations of the governor, and I ask the governor to punish him."

Many people in the tent were taken aback when they saw Qi Zhen's actions, and then reacted.

Qi Zhen came to plead guilty, obviously because of the battle just now.

Everyone can see clearly, after all, there are more than [-] soldiers under Qi Zhen's command, which is not a small number, but there are no more than [-] Tatars.

Even if Wang Yangming hadn't sent Guan Zheng to lead the cavalry to help in time, the [-]-odd army might have been defeated by less than [-] Tatars.
